HEALTH CARE PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 1998 (Unaudited) (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The unaudited financial information furnished herein, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments that are necessary to state fairly the financial position, the results of operations, and cash flows of Health Care Property Investors, Inc. and its affiliated subsidiaries and joint ventures (the "Company"). The Company presumes that users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 and that the adequacy of additional disclosures needed for a fair presentation, except in regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company's most recent annual report to security holders have been omitted. The interim financial information contained herein is not necessarily representative of a full year's operations for various reasons including acquisitions, changes in rents, interest rates and the timing of debt and equity financings. These same considerations apply to all year-to- year comparisons. Facility Operations: During 1997, the Company purchased 90 - 100 percent ownership interests in seven medical office buildings ("MOBs") which are operated by independent property management companies on behalf of the Company. These MOBs are leased to multiple tenants under gross or triple net leases. Any income attributable to these properties, other than Base Rental Income, is recorded as facility operating revenue and is included in Interest and Other Income. Expenses related to the operation of these MOBs are recorded as Facility Operating Expenses. Reclassifications: Reclassifications have been made for comparative financial statement presentations. (2) MAJOR OPERATORS Listed below are the Company's major operators and the percentage of annualized revenue from these operators and their subsidiaries. Percentage of Annualized Annualized Operators Revenue Total Revenue - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Vencor, Inc. ("Vencor") $ 23,085 16% HealthSouth Corporation ("HealthSouth") 12,277 8 Emeritus Corporation 11,044 7 Beverly Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly") 9,585 6 Tenet Healthcare Corporation ("Tenet") 8,941 6 Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp. 7,982 5 All of the leases with Tenet and Vencor and one lease with HealthSouth are guaranteed by Tenet through the base lease term. During 1998, 14 of the Vencor leases expire. Those leases guaranteed by Tenet represented approximately 25% of the Company's total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998. (3) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The following tabulation is a summary of the activity for the Stockholders' Equity account for the three months ended March 31, 1998 (amounts in thousands): Preferred Stock Common Stock ----------------- ------------------------------ Par Additional Total Number of Number of Value Paid In Cumulative Cumulative Stockholders' Shares Amount Shares Amount Capital Net Income Dividends Equity - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31, 1997 2,400 $57,810 30,216 $30,216 $408,924 $444,759 $(499,440) $442,269 Issuance of Common Stock, Net 30 30 1,169 1,199 Net Income 17,478 17,478 Dividends Paid - Preferred Shares (1,181) (1,181) Dividends Paid - Common Shares (19,358) (19,358) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, March 31, 1998 2,400 $57,810 30,246 $30,246 $410,093 $462,237 $(519,979) $440,407 ========================================================================================================================== (4) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accountings Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, effective December 15, 1997. As a result, both basic and diluted earnings per common share are presented for each of the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. In prior years, only basic earnings per common share data was disclosed. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using only dilutive securities. Options to purchase shares of common stock which have an exercise price in excess of the average market price during the period are not included because they are not dilutive. The convertible debt is included only when the effect on earnings per common share is dilutive.

The Company believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO") is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be uninformative. The term FFO was designed by the real estate investment trust industry to address this problem. The Company adopted the definition of FFO prescribed by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO is defined as net income applicable to common shares (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and real estate related amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. FFO, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define it exactly as the NAREIT definition. Below are summaries of the calculation of FFO and FFO per share of common stock (all amounts in thousands except per share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------------ 1998 1997 --------- --------- Net Income Applicable to Common Shares $ 16,297 $ 17,119 Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization 6,645 5,482 Joint Venture Adjustments (228) (192) Gain on Sale of Real Estate Properties --- (2,047) --------- --------- Funds From Operations $ 22,714 $ 20,362 ========= ========= For the Three Months Ended (Amounts in thousands except per share amounts) -------------------------------------------- Per Share March 31, 1998 Income Shares Amount - - ----------------------------- ------------ ------------ --------- Basic Funds From Operations per Share: $ 22,714 30,237 $ 0.75 --------- Interest and Amortization applicable to Convertible Debt 1,599 2,645 Dilutive Options --- 218 Non Managing Member Unit Dividends 86 121 -------- --------- Diluted Funds From Operations per Share: $ 24,399 33,221 $ 0.73 --------- March 31, 1997 - - ----------------------------- Basic Funds From Operations per Share: $ 20,362 28,701 $ 0.71 --------- Interest and Amortization applicable to Convertible Debt 1,599 2,645 Dilutive Options --- 167 -------- --------- Diluted Funds From Operations per Share: $ 21,961 31,513 $ 0.70 --------- (6) COMMITMENTS As of May 11, 1998, the Company has outstanding commitments on closed and to-be- closed development transactions of approximately $81,000,000 and $47,000,000, respectively. The Company is also committed to acquire approximately $64,000,000 of existing health care real estate. The Company expects that a significant portion of these commitments will be funded; however, experience suggests that some committed transactions will not close. Transactions do not close for various reasons including unsatisfied pre-closing conditions, competitive financing sources, final negotiation differences and the operator's inability to obtain required internal or governmental approvals. (7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On April 21, 1998 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share payable on May 20, 1998, to stockholders of record on the close of business on May 4, 1998. In addition, during April 1998, the Company completed an acquisition of a group of 18 physician group practice clinic buildings located in various states for approximately $39,000,000. This acquisition was funded in part by the sale of 698,752 shares of common stock to a Unit Investment Trust during April, which netted the Company approximately $23,000,000. During May 1998, an additional group of six physician group practice clinic buildings located in Florida were purchased for approximately $17,000,000. On April 30, 1998, Vencor, Inc. announced that it completed the spin-off of its healthcare operations. Vencor, Inc. has been renamed Ventas, Inc. and retains the real property, buildings and other improvements. The healthcare company has assumed all of the operations and other assets of Vencor, Inc. and the Vencor name. The Company's security in the Vencor leases is not adversely affected by the spin-off. HEALTH CARE PROPERTY INVESTORS, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company is in the business of acquiring health care facilities that it leases on a long-term basis to health care providers. On a more limited basis, the Company has provided mortgage financing on health care facilities. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's portfolio of properties, including equity investments, consisted of 251 facilities located in 40 states. These facilities are comprised of 139 long-term care facilities, 75 congregate care and assisted living facilities, 19 medical office buildings, eight acute care hospitals, six freestanding rehabilitation facilities, three physician group practice clinics and one psychiatric care facility. The gross acquisition price of the properties, which includes joint venture acquisitions, was approximately $1,148,000,000 at March 31, 1998. The Company had commitments to purchase and construct health care facilities totaling approximately $192,000,000 for funding during 1998 and 1999. The Company expects that a significant portion of these commitments will be funded but that a portion may not be funded. (See Note (6) to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Income applicable to common shares for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $16,297,000 or $0.54 of basic earnings per common share on revenue of $36,334,000 compared to $17,119,000 or $0.60 per common share on revenue of $30,867,000 for the same period in 1997. Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 included a $2,047,000 or $0.07 of basic earnings per common share gain on the sale of real estate properties. Base Rental Income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $1,555,000 to $26,078,000 primarily as a result of approximately $262,000,000 and $42,000,000 of new investments during 1997 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Interest and Other Income increased $1,202,000 to $4,845,000 from growth in the equity investments and from an increase in income from the operations of seven medical office buildings purchased during 1997. There were $797,000 in related Facility Operating Expenses on these medical office buildings recorded during the first quarter of 1998. Interest Expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $855,000 to $7,617,000 due to increased borrowings utilized to finance recent acquisitions. Depreciation/Non Cash Charges for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $1,188,000 to $7,422,000 attributable directly to the acquisition activity during 1997 and early 1998. The Company believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO") is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. (See Note (5) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased $2,352,000 to $22,714,000. The increase is attributable to increases in Base Rental Income and Interest and Other Income, as offset by increases in Interest Expense and Facility Operating Expenses which are discussed above. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. FFO, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other real estate investment trusts that do not define it exactly as the NAREIT definition. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company has financed acquisitions through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, the issuance of long-term debt, the assumption of mortgage debt, the use of short-term bank lines and through internally generated cash flows. Facilities under construction are generally financed by means of cash on hand or short-term borrowings under the Company's existing bank lines. At the completion of construction and commencement of the lease, short-term borrowings used in the construction phase are generally refinanced with new long-term debt or equity offerings. During March and April 1997, the Company issued two ten year $10,000,000 Medium Term Notes ("MTNs") with coupon rates of 7.30% and 7.62%, respectively. During June 1997, $12,500,000 in MTNs with coupon rates of 10.20% and 10.30% were redeemed. On September 26, 1997, the Company issued $60,000,000, 7-7/8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. During December 1997, the Company raised $55,000,000 of equity in a common stock offering of 1,437,500 shares at $38.3125 per share. The net proceeds of $57,810,000 and $51,935,000 from the preferred and common stock offerings, respectively, were utilized to pay down short-term borrowings under the Company's revolving lines of credit. During February 1998, $10,000,000 in MTNs with a coupon rate of 9.88% were redeemed. In March 1998, two five year $10,000,000 MTNs with coupon rates of 6.66% were issued by the Company. At March 31, 1998, stockholders' equity in the Company totaled $440,407,000 and the debt to equity ratio was 1.08 to 1. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, FFO (before interest expense) covered Interest Expense 3.98 to 1. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $280,000,000 available under its existing shelf registration statements for the future issuance of debt and equity securities and for its Series B and Series C MTN programs. These amounts may be issued from time to time in the future based on Company needs and then existing market conditions. On October 22, 1997, the Company renegotiated its line of credit with a group of seven banks. The Company now has two revolving lines of credit, one for $100,000,000 which expires on October 22, 2002 and one for $50,000,000 which expires on October 22, 1998. The Company expects these agreements to be renewed for an additional year in October 1998. As of March 31, 1998, the Company also had $68,000,000 available on its $150,000,000 revolving lines of credit. The Company's Senior Notes and Convertible Subordinated Notes have been rated investment grade by debt rating agencies since 1986. Current ratings are as follows: Moody's Standard & Poor's Duff & Phelps -------- ----------------- -------------- Senior Notes Baa1 BBB+ A- Convertible Subordinated Notes Baa2 BBB BBB+ Since inception in May 1985, the Company has recorded approximately $616,927,000 in cumulative FFO. Of this amount, a total of $517,551,000 has been distributed to stockholders as dividends on common stock. The balance of $99,376,000 has been retained, and has been an additional source of capital for the Company. At March 31, 1998, the Company held approximately $40,500,000 in irrevocable letters of credit from commercial banks to secure the obligations of many lessees' lease and borrowers' loan obligations. The Company may draw upon the letters of credit if there are any defaults under the leases and/or loans. Amounts available under letters of credit change based upon facility operating conditions and other factors and such changes may be material. The first quarter 1998 dividend of $0.64 per share or $19,358,000 in the aggregate was paid on February 20, 1998. Total dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as a percentage of FFO for the corresponding period was 85%. The Company declared a second quarter dividend of $0.65 per share or approximately $19,660,000 in the aggregate, to be paid on May 20, 1998. The Company has concluded a significant number of "facility rollover" transactions in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 on properties that have been under long-term leases and mortgages. "Facility rollover" transactions principally include lease renewals and renegotiations, exchanges, sales of properties, and, to a lesser extent, payoffs on mortgage receivables. Increase/(Decrease) Year In FFO - - ----- ------------------- 1995 Completed 20 facility rollovers including the sale $ 900,000 of ten facilities with concurrent "seller financing" for a gain of $23,550,000. 1996 Completed 20 facility rollovers including the sale of (1,200,000) nine facilities in Missouri and the exchange of the Dallas Rehabilitation Institute for the HealthSouth Sunrise Rehabilitation Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 1997 Completed 10 facility rollovers (1,300,000) 1998 Completed four facility rollovers (250,000) Through December 31, 2000, the Company has 58 more facilities that are subject to lease expiration, mortgage maturities and purchase options (which management believes may be exercised) representing approximately 28% of annualized revenues. During 1997, the Company concluded agreements with Tenet and Beverly that result in their forbearance or waiver of certain renewal and purchase options and related rights of first refusal on up to 57 facilities currently leased to Vencor and Beverly, of which 27 facilities have leases expiring through December 31, 2000. As part of these agreements, continued ownership of the facilities will remain with the Company. As a result of the forbearance or waiver of these options, the Company believes that, based upon recent operating results, it may be able to increase rents on approximately 12 facilities whose lease terms expire between 1998 and 2001; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize any increased rents. The 1998 lease expirations include 14, seven, and five long-term care facilities leased to Vencor, Beverly and Integrated Health Services, respectively. The Company has completed certain facility rollovers earlier than the scheduled lease expirations or mortgage maturities and will continue to pursue such opportunities where it is advantageous to do so. Management believes that the Company's liquidity and sources of capital are adequate to finance its operations as well as its future investments in additional facilities. YEAR 2000 ISSUE Management believes it does not have any significant exposure to Year 2000 issues with respect to its own accounting and information systems. The Company is discussing Year 2000 compliance requirements with its lessees, bankers and others. CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical factual statements are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
